My husband is a truck driver. He has filed a complaint with FMCSA AND OSHA and was fired when the company found out. They didn't pay him for his last week of driving along with many other times of not being paid. Now we are homeless and living on the river, totally broke and phone is being shut off today (no other means of communication) we keep hearing that he is protected from retaliation but how? Are there any groups that help financially until a settlement is reached ?

Sorry that this happened, I would like, like others know why he filed a complaint but here is the thing, you shouldn’t tell us.
why?
because you need a lawyer, you need to have legal actions to take place if it is a legitimate complaint, and it is serious to get one.
you can contact your state bar association and they can guide you to a pro-Bono lawyer who can help you.slow.rider, NavigatorWife, LtlAnonymous and 1 other person Thank this. -
I think what tends to happen with some shady companies is the company will withhold the driver’s last paycheck to cover the cost of “recovering” the truck. I’m not saying it’s right, but it happens all too often. Get a lawyer. Good luck!

you guys are quick to take sides. Thats a one sided story. IF they are homeless, thats their own doing for not having a padding. Everyone needs a buffer. You dont typically get fired and then live on the strreets off of rats and worms. But hey, need full story and both sides. Alot of people just seek to make money off of companies as which this seems in my gut opinion. This person is looking for "groups" to help pay their way. almost like the fraudulant gofundme site.

Not everyone is out for a free payday, just whats earned and owed to them. This company owes my husband over $6000 in unpaid wages. Not to mention has ruined his reputation with their negligence.Last edited: Apr 12, 2021
